2 Jones Sadly 3 ANCIENT CLUB GAVE FIVE PROS 10 BOB'S Mac Smith Likely to Rule *Favorite in British Open This Week. BY BERNARD DARWIN. ONDON, May 30.—The British | open golf championship wmi be played at Carnoustie this | Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. On Monday and Tuesdayi the 214 entrants each will play | two qualifying rounds, one at Carnoustie itself and one next door, at Barry. 1t is, in any case, sad that Bobby| Jones will nct b2 here to defend hi title, and It is especially sad that should not play in the first cpen cham- | picnship ever held at Ca e, A place that may be saii to h something of the making of Jone-. | From this litile town in Angus—it | used to be call>d Forfa:shire—there has | poured int> the United States a flood | of prefessional golfers and thence in | om | articular came Stewart Maiden, wi Enbby Jones used to watch with ador- | ing eyes at the imprassicna’ie age of 6. | Carnoustie has provided Bcbby's own course of Eastlake with no fewer than five profess.onals—Alex Smith, Jimmy Marden, Maiden, Willie Ogg aad Char- lie Gray and, as in duty bounZ, Jones made a pilgrimag: there when he was lact at St. Andrews, and laid his gar- lands, metaphorically, at Carnoustie's feet. What a pity he cannot win there! U. S. Well Represented. ‘What must be must, however, and the Unitd States has sent a formidab’e band to retain the championship cup— Horton Smith, Turnesa, Kirkwood, Far- rell, Sarazen, Manero, Willie Hunter, Armour, A. Straub and MnrD:nnld‘ Smitih. There are three amateurs, our old frien:, Joshua Crane, who seems possessed by a strange and irresistibe | passion for this event, and tw> whose | fame has not_hitherto reached me, J. De Paolo of Rancho and T. Maguire, Stockdale. At the end of the first week in May | I made a one-day raid on Scotland and walked round tne Carnoust.e course. MacDnoald Smith was there. hard at work, and saying he felt all the better for his native alr and the| peace and quiet of it. Not many golf-| ers, 1 fancy, could thus settie dcwn a whole month of gdlf on one cours:| without, the fear of growing stale, but | 1 have no goubt Smith knows his own | business best and will bring himsei to the post in the best possible condi- | + tion. | I do not know Carnoustie well and, perhaps on that account, it seems to me to lack something of the romance and the inspiring atmosphere which belong to some of the other champion- £hip courses. There are no tremendous holes which bring back memories of supreme glory or historic disaster, but the courss provides beyond doubt a sound and searching examination in| all the arts of golf. The warm weather | will now have brought it into admira- | ble_condition, The course is just over ,6,700 yards long, and, heaven knows, that is long enough. It has set its house in order with a number of new bunkers de- signed by James Braid, and he does not temper justice with any excess of mer- cy. There is a certain bunker designed by Braid, at Prestwick, which in all probzbility robbed J. H. Taylor of sixth championship and caused him to say that the man who made that bunk- ér should be buried in it with a niblick through his heart. It is not an easy course to describe, because, although of the typically sea- side type, it has no great sand hills or caverncus bunkers. The courze is on| the whole, flat—a good thing, in my | judgment, though mountains are more | melodramatic—and the natural folds | and bends in the ground, though big enough to be effective, are on no colos- sa) scale. ‘The most obvious feature consists of | various burns, which we paltry English- | men are apt to call streams. There is | Jockie’'s Burn and the Barry Burn. | The first of the two means trouble at | both the sscond and third holes, and | as to the Barry Burn, it is so ubiqui- | tous in its windings that the stranger thinks at first Carnoustis hospitality | has been rather too much for him. Like a Serpent. It seems like a particularly tortuous serpent eating its own tail. I may, | through ignorance, omit some of its| meanderings, but it has at any rate to be carried with the second shot at the tenth hole (which has the odd name of “South America”), twice at the seventeenth hole and twice more at the | last. Of a certain old Scottish golfer of 1527 it was written: “Lykewakes he exercisit ths gowf and ofttimes it to Barry Lynks, quhan the wi was for drink.” My readers may think I have been following his example, but I can as- sure them that what I say of that omnivorous burn is true. At the last | hole it is simply everywhere. It is at once both to the right and to the left, | making a Mesopotamia eof the spoi | where the tee shot must be laid down; and then there it is again in front of the green, and to cross it in 2 means a | carry of over 400 yards in two shots. So much for the courze, and now who is going to win there? “Oh, I suppose one of these blessed Amer- jcans” would be the typical British a swer, and there are certainly good | grounds. At the same time the bulk | of American victories have been the work of two men, Walter Hagen and Bobby Jones, and neither of them is here. So we may have hopes. I take it that MacDonald Smith will start favorite and I do hope the crowd —there will be a very big one—will not Jove him too much. ~Every man, wom- an and child in that crowd will think of him not as a stranger from America, but as_one of themselves, a true-born Scot. They did so only too fervently at Prestwick in 1925, and so surged about him that he collapsed when he wanted & 78 to beat Jim Barnes. Of the American entrants as a whole | my readers ai possible be, so I will say no | more of them. Of the others I wili| take Cotton, Alliss, Charles Whitcombe | and Compston, and, as a rather long | =hot, perhaps, the Prenchman, Bover, | who played beautiful golf at Hoylake last year. South America must nct be forgot- ten, with Jurado, Oenu-—asciflbed a8 a terrific driver—Churio and ero, but I should be surprised if any of Jurado, a splendid little had his gpeat chance when Hagen won at Sandwich in 1928, and he could not quite endure the strain to the end. One has something of the same feeling about Compston. These chances cnly come, even to the best, once or twice in a lifetime, and after his wonderful 68 in the third round at Hoylake last year Compston had a su- preme opportunity and made, oh! such & sad mess of it. % I have the most faith in Cotton, who | Coo: s not only a very fine player, but pos- sessed of astonishing powers of hard work at the game, snd- great resolu- tion. Yet no amount of work can make sure of & championship.

R. MeCALLIM. ITH the returns from the | outlying precincts dis- closing symptoms of = revolt against the new order of things, feeling against the new golf ball has reached an amusing point around Washing- ton and nearby cities. Of course the new “balloon” ball is not new. It has been in use—officially—for five months now, and every ane has had a fair shot at trying u out. The net reaction on the lips of mast of the middle class of golfers is just this: “How long is this farce going on? How long will it be before the golf pow- ers that be listen to our pleas and bring back a ball that will perform as the old ball did?” Now, that reaction is not personal, or welike the new ball quite as well as the old ball. To be sure, it takes nicer hitting in a wind and ‘it takes finer putting, but, on the whole, we have not noticed any difference, either in distance from the tee or in the seoring capabilities of the new sphere. The scores made by the leading golfers are | just as low with the new a3 they | were with the old. 1t does sit up a little cleaner on the .- fairway and it does sit down on the green a little better from the iron elubs. It does not have the run that the old ball did, which means that fewer shots will find a bunker at the end of the run. UT on the whole the new ball does not please that vast mass of golfers who used to play between 85 and 100 and now find their scoring set back by three or four strokes around hecause a putt or two hangs on the lip of the cup or they cannot make the carries with the new “lemon” they used to make with the old sphere. In recent weeks we have talked with many golfers around Washington, in Rich- mond and in Baltimore. along the bunkered front we hear the same sad plea, “When are they going to_bring back the old ball?” Now it means something to & man to rob him of the pleasure he en| with the old ball. Take holes like third at Washington, the eleventh at Columbia, the fourteenth at Chevy Chase, the fourth at Burning Trée, the seventh at Congressional and a number of holes around 400 yards which t occasionally have been reached in two shots by even the pocrer players with the oid bail.
